This was a good horror story, masterfully written. 
However, it felt a little too long.

4.0

I went into this book with really high expectations — probably because this is the favourite King of the person who inspired me to do my big King chronological read and our book tastes are very similar — and I left really liking this book, but it wasn't the five-star read (and what would have been my first King five-star, 17 books in) I hoped it would be.

The writing was brilliant, as was the portrayal of grief, and it evoked chilling feelings at time, but I just wasn't captivated by the book as much as I hoped. It didn't have as big of an emotional impact as I thought. It felt like a big chunk in the middle lagged and I wanted the story to pick up the pace!

A Halloween classic. One of King's strongest works, this supernatural tale deals with the subject of loss and grief and how those things can change someone in ways that no one could expect. With themes of death and grief present throughout, it can at times be hard to get through for some readers, but if horror and the supernatural are your things, then this is definitely one for the TBR list. The length might be intimidating, as a lot of King's works are, but the story is worth it to finish reading.
